Volunteer and help send kids to summer camp!

So you want to volunteer at Toronto’s coolest waterfront event? Volunteering with Canoe Heads for Kids is a great way to give back to the camping community and help send more kids to summer camp!

Our volunteers give kids the gift of summer camp by contributing their time and skills to this powerful fundraising event. If you are interested in volunteering with us, take a few moments to fill out our volunteer form and send it to volunteers@amicicharity.org. 

We are seeking energetic, enthusiastic volunteers to help us in the following areas of Amici’s Canoe Heads for Kids 2019. 

FOOD

• Team members work directly with Amici staff to setup and serve lunch at the Canoe Heads  halfway point (Sir Casimir Gzowski Park).

CANOE TEAM

• The Canoe Team directly supports paddlers with the safe handling of canoes on event day, mapping out the canoe staging area, and supporting trailer-to-land-to-water transitions. We need Canoe Team members to help us both in the morning with set up and at the end of the day with clean up. *Note that crew members of our Canoe team are generally comfortable handling and tripping with canoes.

ROUTE MARSHALS

• Route Marshals are the cheerleaders of Canoe Heads! You will use your energy and enthusiasm to cheer on and guide the participants on their 7.5 km portage across Toronto’s waterfront.
   
• Route Marshals answer portager questions and are the point people for emergency situations that may occur on-route, ensuring that all teams are accounted for and safe in their expedition.
   

Unsure of your interests and availability? We can work with you to find your best fit within the Volunteer roles for the event.
